Technology today

Last weekend, I was at my friends house. We were having a great time and having so much fun. However we were having a little to much fun and I forgot my iPad. The whole weekend I went without my iPad and it made me realize that us as humans rely on technology to do the simplest things.

Without my iPad I couldn’t play games, I couldn’t contact my friends, and I couldn’t even write my blog. I had to use my moms computer. What people use to to manually, we can do with a touch of a finger or a flick of a switch. This new technologies are making us not want to do what people done back in the day. We stay inside and play video games the whole day.

Each and everyday, advancements on either old technology or steps to new technology are being taken. The more counsels or games people make the more money everybody has to spend to either be “popular” or have fun. When a new game comes out, you play it to much and then you get bored of it so you stop playing it. Once you stop playing it, a new game comes out and you buy that and the circle just keeps going. Games mind control people to spend money. That’s what the world is about now a days. Get money from kids nagging on their parents to buy a certain game.

I am an artist

 I am an artist. With the new year of I Ho Chuan rolling in, everyone is starting their own journey with a new and unique weapon. For me, this is the staff. As I was creating said form, it occurred to me that every form we do, every application we practice, it’s all art. It’s about being abstract yet simple. Challenging yet easy. Each and everyone one of us has our own unique way of doing a form or an application. There is no right or wrong way to create art. Art is art just as kung fu is kung fu. The more you practice and stay dedicated, the greater of an artist you will become. We are all artists on our own journey to create a masterpiece.

Starting anew

 As all of you have heard tonight, I have been greatly lacking in blogging this year. I missed one week and that turned to two weeks then a month then half the year. After tonights meeting I thought to myself, what better time to start blogging then now, so here I am, living in the moment and starting anew. Each day is another chance for you to start anew, to improve, to train, to positively change the world around you. Something that I have heard countless times during my journey in kung fu is to never compare yourself to the people beside you. Compare yourself to you yesterday and each day become better. Right now, today me is better the yesterday me because of this blog. It’s important to keep in mind the improvement you have made over the days or the months or even the years and blogging is the perfect way to do just that. I deeply regret not blogging these past months because I have lost out on a 6 month portion of my training that I won’t remember 50 years down the road. That...

Struggles

 Struggles. We all have them. Some struggles are bigger then others. Some may be reoccurring and some may be a one and done. However the only thing that is common between all struggles is that they are all another obstacle in our life. For me, my biggest struggle this year has been blogging. I can give a thousand excuses why I didn’t blog but that doesn’t change the fact that I didn’t blog. Struggles are also learnings opportunities. Instead of just identifying a struggle then mitigating it, learn from it, figure out why it happened and find the best way to keep it from happening again. How we react and adapt to struggles directly affects our life so we have to make sure we do it the right way.
